"Don't mention my father. There are no father-son relationships at the lighthouse!" Charles said, still very angry. "That old man chose Mark! He has to bear the consequences himself!"
“I know, but your father has realized he was wrong! He now realizes that only you can lead the Lighthouse forward!” Walter continued, “Chief, if you are willing, we are willing to assist you in taking control of the Lighthouse again! To make the Lighthouse great once more!”
Charles looked at Walter, his eyes lighting up again.
Chapter 168 The Death of Maido
The Lighthouse, Morgan's residence.
A young man in a chef's uniform slowly pushed a food cart into the residence.
"stop!"
Two hunters standing guard at the entrance stopped the cook.
"How come I've never seen you before?"
"I'm newly transferred here. Kane is sick today, so I'm delivering the meals!"
The hunter checked the food cart as usual, found nothing wrong, and let him in.
Morgan Stanley's checks are relatively lenient.
Since no one killed Morgan and no one saved him, he didn't pay much attention.
The food cart entered the inner room, where the chef saw Morgan sitting alone, playing chess.
Morgan was confined alone for so long that he almost developed dementia!
"Lord Morgan!"
Morgan remained silent, his eyes fixed on the chessboard.
"Lord Morgan!"
Hearing the other person keep shouting, Morgan could only say, "Just leave it there! I'll eat it later!"
"Lord Morgan, the Lighthouse is in dire straits! We beg you to take command of the Lighthouse again and lead us out of danger!"
Morgan turned to look at the other person. "What did you say?"
"Lord Morgan, the Lighthouse is now controlled by Mark and Jingyuan. They are cooperating with the people on the ground and want to transform us all into people like them!"
They lied and claimed that the people on Earth had superpowers, and that they wanted to transform us into people with superpowers too!
It's said to be for the better fight against the Devouring Beasts!
Lord City Lord, if we are transformed, will we still be human?
Nowadays, people on the ground can go up to the lighthouse anytime!
The lighthouse is no longer the lighthouse keeper's lighthouse!
"What did you say!"
Morgan's eyes were extremely complicated!
Morgan had been with Grey since the Old World, and since Grey decided to make him the Lord of the City, he had entrusted him with many secrets.
Morgan knows a lot of things.
For so many years, the lighthouse has floated in the air. Has it been completely unaware of what is happening on the ground?
The people are completely unaware!
And Morgan, he knew everything!
Why doesn't he cooperate with the people on the ground? It's not just because, as Jing Yuan said, cooperating with them would mean he would lose the possibility of seizing power.
There was an even more important reason: Morgan believed from the bottom of his heart that they were not human!
As long as it's not human, there's absolutely no possibility of cooperation!
Now that Mark is going his own way, Morgan has finally had enough!
"What are your plans?" Morgan cut to the chase.
He knew perfectly well why this person had come here.
"All plans still require your oversight, Lord City Lord!"
Morgan looked at him and said, “Mark has the Lighthouse’s strongest armed force, and Jingyuan himself is exceptionally strong. If you don’t even have a plan to deal with them, how can you talk about taking back control of the Lighthouse?”
Morgan, as expected of someone who had been a city lord for decades, managed to frighten the other party into trembling with just a few simple words.
“Mark and Jingyuan are spending most of their time on the ground now, so we can take advantage of their time on the ground and drive the lighthouse away!”
"What about the hunters?"
"Kill them! They're not like those two monsters, they can't be killed!"
Morgan stared intently at the other man with a dark look in his eyes, then nodded. "Yes! Go and find General Victor."
"We have already sent people over there."
Upon hearing this, Morgan finally felt that something was amiss.
……
Jingyuan and his group entered the purification zone in two vehicles. Suixing kept trying to contact the village, but received no response.
"I hope nothing bad has happened!"
Sui Xing turned around and glared at Gu Yan, "Shut your jinxed mouth!"
Qianli, however, remained calm, saying, "With Boss Bai around, what could possibly happen!"
Hearing Qianli say this, Suixing nodded in agreement. Boss Bai's strength was indeed beyond doubt.
Shattered Star arranged for the taciturn man to go to Quaid's car and take them to the ecological base.
Because most of the village's research equipment is located in the ecological base.
Sui Xing, Qian Li, and Jing Yuan went directly into the village.
After entering from the main entrance of Dragonbone Village, they didn't see anyone all the way to the supply station.
This puzzled both Suixing and Qianli.
Where have everyone gone?
Jingyuan scanned the area with his mental power and found that many people were gathered in one place.
He called out to Qianli and Suixing, and they quickly headed to where the crowd had gathered.
A group of people were gathered in an open space on the edge of the village.
The sound of crying could also be heard from the crowd.
Sui Xing sensed something was wrong and quickly ran over.
At this moment, Bai Yuekui was in the center of the crowd, his face filled with grief.
Ulan Aodeng was sobbing uncontrollably, and his son was also crying.
On the other side, a man holding a child was also crying.
Even Jingyuan sensed something was wrong.
He looked at Mark standing to the side, who was still wearing the gravity suit!
This is the new gravity vehicle the research department provided him after his previous one was destroyed. It's white, and the paint job hasn't even been changed.
Wearing gravity armor means he has just been in a battle.
Faced with the situation, Jingyuan didn't want to ask the people of Dragon Bone Village, so he had to ask Mark instead.
Mark also looked sad at that moment.
"Mark, what happened?" Jing Yuan came to Mark's side and asked.
Mark heard Jingyuan's voice and realized that Jingyuan and the others had returned.
Mark didn't waste any time with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "A shielding tower in Dragonbone Village broke down, and Boss Bai led a group to repair it. I went along to help. But we encountered Devouring Beasts on the way, and someone was killed!"
Jing Yuan was taken aback. Weren't they supposed to return to their origin? How could they still be discovered by the Devouring Beast? And near the shielding tower no less.
"Who was killed?"
"Two little girls, one named Maiduo and the other named Fangyuan."
Maido?
Jingyuan recalled that innocent and lively little girl in the red skirt, who had actually sacrificed herself!
Jingyuan's head felt like it had exploded!
Such a wonderful young girl, gone just like that?
Jing Yuan looked at Mark with disbelief and asked, "Did you encounter a King-level Devouring Beast?"
"It's not a king-level beast, but a mutated Devouring Beast! However, it's a type we've never encountered before."
The one speaking was Bai Yuekui.
Jing Yuan stared at Bai Yuekui, and said in disbelief, "I don't understand. With your strength, how could someone still be killed when we went out together?"
